Mark was playing in London and he asked if Free Heat would support him, and at the time I wasn’t really that aware of who he was or any music that he’d made. He sent over this CD and I was like, ‘Fucking hell, this is amazing.’ And we didn’t do the gig because I was in a bad way at the time. I was totally off my tits all the time. And I just felt as if I went out there and played, I would make an absolute twat of myself. Free Heat had kind of disintegrated a bit, and me and Ben thought about doing it for about five minutes and just thought we were in no shape to do anything, so we turned it down. But I’d loved to have done it. if I was in better shape, I probably would have. It’s got loads of songs on it and every one plays like a single. You don’t get enough records like that. It’s just like a greatest hits record.
